The European Medicines Agency released an updated template on QRD and updated its page on "Product-information templates - Human".
The QRD initiative was launched in 1999 to harmonize the format and content of product information for medicinal products in the EU.
The first version of the QRD templates was published in 2001, and they have been regularly updated since then to reflect changes in regulatory requirements and best practices.
The European Medicines Agency's (EMA) Working Group on Quality Review of Documents (QRD) develops, reviews and updates templates for product information for use by applicants and marketing authorisation holders for human medicines.
